From Wikipedia
"Horn described her goals for this project in the Art:21 documentary series, "“In the case of You Are the Weather, I was curious to see if I could elicit a place from her face, almost like a landscape. Not in the literal sense, but how close those identities were.”
...
Horn writes, "The way this work is shot and installed, the viewer is voyeurized by the view. You are surrounded by a woman who is staring at you."

A book I stumbled across by an artist I hadn't heard of, then checked out from the library solely because I'd recently been to Iceland and want to be in a hot spring 24/7.
Most art does not translate well from installation to book format, but this may be an exception: the portraits are the exact measurements as for the installation. They can be held in the hand, and admired for any length of time. They are arranged in the same groupings, which can then be reviewed in any order.
It's hard to stop and take time to consider something anymore, and this asks you to do so.
I like the idea of a person being equally changeable and volatile as the weather. And I love me a film photograph.
